Method and apparatus for transmitting ACK/NACK for downlink transmission in wireless communication system

摘要

A method for transmitting ACK/NACK information in response to a downlink transmission in a relay node (RN) of a wireless communication system; and the RN therefore are discussed. The method according to one embodiment includes receiving downlink transmissions in downlink subframes; and transmitting the ACK/NACK information for the downlink transmissions in one uplink subframe associated with the downlink subframes. The downlink subframes and the uplink subframe are configured for a time division duplex (TDD). Physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources are configured by a higher layer, and each of the PUCCH resources corresponds to each of the downlink subframes. Each of the downlink subframes associated with the one uplink subframe is sequentially mapped to each of the PUCCH resources starting from a downlink subframe among the downlink subframes that is closest in time to the one uplink subframe.

1. A method for transmitting acknowledgement (ACK)/negative ACK (NACK) information in response to a downlink transmission in a relay node (RN) of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, by the RN from a base station (BS), one or more relay physical downlink control channels (R-PDCCHs) transmitted for scheduling downlink transmissions; receiving, by the RN from the BS, the downlink transmissions in downlink subframes; and transmitting, by the RN to the BS, each of ACK/NACK information corresponding to each of the downlink transmissions in one uplink subframe associated with the downlink subframes, wherein the downlink subframes and the uplink subframe are configured for a time division duplex (TDD), wherein the one or more R-PDCCHs are control channels different from a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), wherein physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources are configured by a higher layer regardless of the PDCCH, and each of the PUCCH resources corresponds to each of the downlink subframes, wherein each of the downlink subframes associated with the one uplink subframe is sequentially mapped to each of the PUCCH resources starting from a downlink subframe among the downlink subframes that is closest in time to the one uplink subframe, wherein the one uplink subframe is a subframe n, wherein the downlink subframes include subframe n−kt, where t=0, 1, 2, . . . , and M−1, and each of M and t is a positive integer, wherein the PUCCH resources include n(1)PUCCH,t, where t=0, 1, 2, . . . , M−1, wherein n(1)PUCCH,t corresponds to the subframe n−kt, and wherein the kt value corresponds to t=0, 1, 2, . . . , M−1 in ascending order.
